Explosion protection

ATM protection against gas explosion attacks

Energy-absorbing module (EAM)

After several years of development, after blowing up numerous automated teller machines in the course of testing, and after making final adjustments and fine-tuning their invention, SECU Sicherheitsprodukte GmbH have applied for a patent for a means of absorbing large parts of the energy released by the gas explosions used in attacks on ATMs.

The tests proved that the resistance of the safe locks used on ATMs can be considerably increased without additional mechanical reinforcements, if the safes of ATMs are fitted with energy-absorbing modules (EAM). In the event of a gas explosion attack, the modules will normally cushion the attack's destructive force enough for the door of the ATM to remain shut.
